<div><font face="Calibri">I've got a client that is having
problems with a stalker that is constantly sending him e-mails
and text message</font> . I know they are using Hotmail and
are on the Telstra Exchange on Wellington street. Is there a
way to locate them any further or does the client need to take
this to either Telstra or the police? He has been to the police
and because she isn't doing a full on threat they will not allow
him to take out a Restraining order, but all these emails and
text messages she's sending is causing him and his family some
grief. The stalker has sent hundreds of emails with different
identities in the name but from the same location (<font

If they don't already know the stalkers identify, finding it out can
be hard as the ISP (Telstra) can't give you that information. What
they can do though, is investigate the "abuse" report you can send
them, with evidence of the "abuse" coming from that IP. Short of
that, you need to get the police involved. If you keep prodding
electronically, you might find yourself on the wrong side of the
fence with the law, both in privacy and "network" intrusions.<br>
<br>
Text's can always be blocked by your phone provider. Email filtering
shouldn't be too hard given they all come from the same ip address.<br>
